Cultivation Online

After Wang Xiuying and the others entered the portal, they found themselves inside this wormhole, and their bodies continued to move upwards.

They remained inside the wormhole for only half a minute before they were met with another portal at the end of this wormhole.

Once they entered it, they were greeted by a clear blue sky and a dozen unfamiliar figures.

"Welcome back, Elder Nie." One of them said to him.

Senior Nie nodded and turned to look at a particular figure in the group, and he said, "Elder Mu, she's all yours."

A pretty middle-aged woman stepped forward and approached Wang Xiuying with a smile on her face, "You're Healer Wang, right? I'm Elder Mu, we have spoken before via the crystal ball, and I will be in charge of you starting today. Follow me. I will bring you to my Spirit Healing Academy."

"Yes!" Wang Xiuying eagerly nodded her head and followed Elder Mu.

"The two of you haven't decided on a sect yet, so that is what you'll be doing today." Senior Nie said to the Lightning Emperor and the other participant.

Meanwhile, an announcement appeared in the sky for all of the players to see shortly after Wang Xiuying and the others arrived at the Spirit Heaven.

[Congratulations! Player Healer Wang and Player Lightning Emperor have become the first players to ascend to 'Spirit Heaven'!]

Of course, the players were well aware of this before the announcement, as the players at the Mystic Realm had revealed this fact to the world the day it happened.

When the players heard that Player Yuan had willingly decided to stay behind in the Lower Heaven for some reason, everyone became puzzled and curious about this reason, as they all thought he was trying to speedrun the game— at least that's what it seemed like to the players after seeing so many ridiculous achievements from him.

Of course, countless news sources approached the Lightning Emperor for interviews after learning that he will be ascending to the next realm which was thought to be impossible until a few years later.

As for Healer Wang… Since only her close friends knew her identity, she was spared from the journalists.

Of course, that is not to say the world wasn't interested in Healer Wang. In fact, a lot of people became interested in her after learning that she was with Player Yuan during the Mystic Realm.

This made people wonder whether Healer Wang knew Player Yuan's identity or not. If she did, she would become their biggest clue to Player Yuan's mysterious identity if not the key to it.

Thus, many people switched from trying to find Player Yuan's identity to finding Player Healer Wang's identity.

Meanwhile, inside the Dragon Temple, Yuan had just reached the dragon statue after flying for almost the entire day.

"Why is the sky still dark? It should be morning by now…" Yuan wondered to himself after realizing that the night wasn't turning into day.

Since he cannot tell the time of the day, Yuan decided to log off early, as he'd rather be safe than sorry.

After logging off and not smelling anything delicious, Yuan proceeded to spend his time cultivating until Meixiu finished preparing dinner.

Once dinner was prepared, Meixiu fed it to Yuan.

"Do you know how long you'll be staying inside the Dragon Temple? Xiao Hua and the others are curious." Meixiu asked him after dinner.

"I have 7 days inside the Dragon Temple," he said.

"A week, huh? Okay, I will let them know."

"Thank you."

Sometime later, Meixiu said, "Oh, right. Wang Xiuying wanted me to let you know that she has ascended to the Spirit Heaven successfully, and she said the world up there is very different compared to the Lower Heaven."

"She's making me want to hurry up and go to the Spirit Heaven to see what's up there…" Yuan smiled.

"Also, I think there's someone waiting for you to come out of the Dragon Temple— besides Xiao Hua and the others," Meixiu added.

"Who?" Yuan asked.

"I don't know her, but according to Feng Feng, she used to be a judge for the zither competition you participated in."

"Sect Master Song? I thought she gave up on trying to recruit me since I haven't seen her since the competition." Yuan said.

After a moment of silence, Meixiu asked, "Why did you refuse her offer? You don't want to play the instrument anymore? But you were having so much fun when you played the zither just the other day."

"It's not that I don't want to play the instrument. As you'd said, I enjoy playing them. However, I don't want instruments to be my focus, and if I had accepted her offer, I'd have to play the instrument seriously again." Yuan said.

"I see…" Meixiu mumbled, as she personally wanted to see Yuan play the instrument again seriously since she felt that Yuan had left the stage too abruptly and far too soon, and it was his musical talents that first captured her heart.

Sometime later, Yuan returned to the Dragon Temple and proceeded to see how he could obtain the Great One's Legacy from it.

Meixiu went to sleep after cleaning the dishes and taking a shower.

In the midst of the night, unbeknownst to Yuan or Meixiu, on the most popular Cultivation Online forum, a topic that would become an instant sensation overnight was created, and this single post would change their world forever and bring forth a new era!

[Cultivation in the real world is possible!]

Although the title of this topic was incredibly simple, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone that saw it, and within mere minutes, the post had amassed tens of thousands of views.

[The cultivation techniques from Cultivation Online actually work in the real world! After many weeks of effort, I have finally become a Cultivator!]

Once the people read the post, they would either laugh at the person who made the post or try it for themselves. And while the results greatly differed from each individual, there was no doubt that some people have succeeded in breaking their mortal shackles, becoming Cultivators in the real world as well!
